DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Cory Booker isn’t being subtle.
With the Iowa caucuses still well over a year away, the New Jersey senator is working overtime to make an impression in Iowa and in other states crucial to the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
Booker has secured the keynote speaker role at the marquee fall Democratic Party fundraising banquet in Des Moines on Oct. 6. He’ll also headline a Democratic fundraiser later in October in South Carolina, which holds the first primary in the South and is a key test of support among black voters.
The moves are a notable break from other well-known Democrats considering 2020 campaigns. While other top-tier prospects have fostered relationships in Iowa, only Booker has plans for now to be in the state ahead of the November midterm elections.

Age/Sex, Race, Religion
The median age in Iowa is 38 years of age. The gender ratio is approximately 50.3% female and 49.7% male.
The racial diversity of Iowa is visible in the pie chart below, with 90.9% Caucasian, 3.3% African American, 2.1% Asian, 1.3% other race, 2% two races, and .4% Natives of North America.
In religious terms, Iowa shows its general preferences with 77% Christian based faith, 1% non-Christian based faiths, and 21% of the population identifying as non-affiliated with any religion.
Do you have that breakdown–ethnic, religious, etc in a chart of all 50 states? I would be interested in which states most closely track nation as a whole. As a guess I’d say NJ, Maryland, then Virginia and Ohio. But Ohio is too big for door-to-door, first in nation politics.
It would be nice but an exercise in futility
because The media, Because Horse-race
Besides a Political season with no corn dog photos?
